Clayton is just another example of the fad where guys who cover sports are treated like experts. Clayton may feed you a decent scoop every now and then, but he's still doesn't know dick about football.

im not sure why pittsburgh fans hate seattle so much, i mean they robbed us a super bowl, they should be thanking us. If it were Green bay or Dallas Cowboys, the media would have blown up the story far more. Dave Damishek also hates seattle and picks us to lose everything.

I think he's been a follower more recently. He used to go with his own thoughts and he was pretty good, but now he just parrots what others think. I don't think his heart is in his job anymore. Schefter and Mort have been better for a few years now.

But also too, Clayton was just on the Kevin Calabro show on ESPN 710 (not that Calabro is really on the show anymore)...anyway, he guaranteed that the Cardinals would lose to the 49ers. Good, because he had also been guaranteeing that Sherman would lose his appeal. This makes me feel very good.

Just throw this on the pile with the other authoritative guarantees Clayton makes. He loves to make arrogant, bold statements and pass them off as facts. He spent all off-season saying Matt Flynn would be the starter.

I would love if someone would spend the time to create a video or sound file of each one of Claytons "facts" and see how many turn true... Would there be any?

Anyone want to make me a new signature? I've held out hope long enough.95% of the time I'm viewing here and/or posting is being done on a mobile device. Pardon any spelling, punctuation, or grammar mistakes.

I used to like Clayton, but in recent years his habit of making up in the air statements with absolute certainty has bit him in the rear more than a few times. He could learn a lot from Schefter, who is very skilled at knowing when to show total confidence.
